08 Aug 10 - 10:18 AM (#2960553) Subject: BS: Blue sky in New Brunswick? From: gnu My cousin and her 14 year old daughter were here from 10PM Thursday until this morning from New Jersey. The main purpose of their trip was to visit my uncle who is soon to get a serious slice & dice in Halifax. They visited Mum and myself yesterday. She said that they could not get over how blue the sky is here. Her daughter had called her to the window Friday morning in awe. I said, questioningly, "You don't have the same sky down there?" Each replied at the same time, "No!" My cousin, who hasn't visited Moncton since she was a young girl, also remarked that she didn't remember how absolutely beautiful the sky is here and how fresh the air is. Her daughter raved about the countryside and said she wanted to come back and spend time at the shore. She couldn't get over the beaches and actually swimming in the ocean. I could easily put 5 of my bungalows in her house, but I'd miss my sky. |

When a child, a relative of mine when she tasted the water in Michigan after living in North Dakota said, I don't like it! It doesn't smell. (North Dakota water is alkaline and has a definite smell.) |

Reminded me of gelatin; there seemed to be layer upon layer of luminous blue that let one's eye go deeper and deeper ad infinitum. |
